WELCOME HOME TO OUR NEW GENERAL MANAGER!

August 24, 2018

The family at Nanuya Island Resort have recently welcomed a new General Manager but this one is truly different.

Those who are familiar with the recent history of Nanuya Island Resort, would be familiar with the name – Akuila Kula. Akuila was in fact the General Manager at the time Val and Ivan Parker took over control of the revamped Nanuya Island Resort and its future vision. He was a valuable part of the team during this important phase of the resort’s development.

We didn’t know it at the time but Akuila had been in the tourism and hospitality business for well over 20 years – honing his PR and management skills as part of Fiji Airways cabin crew. These adventures took him across and around the world innumerable times before he decided to call the Yasawa Islands home!

Akuila moved in to Resort Management and over the past 5 years has developed his expertise at some of the areas best and most professional resorts, including Nanuya Island Resort.

2018 saw Akuila come full circle, when he again decided to return to Nanuya Island Resort and take on the role as General Manager, ably assisted ‘out the front’ by Resort Manager, Timoci Tuikatakata . Look out for Akuila as you wander the grounds of Nanuya Island Resort – he’s tall, imposing and although a quiet man, oversees the staff and operation with a level of professionalism rarely seen in the area.

The entire Nanuya Family welcomes Akuila home – we’re glad to have him back.

…..and you never know, if you happen to spot one of the resort’s elusive green iguanas, he might even be the one to present you with your free cocktail!
